My father learned he had lung cancer in
May of 1999. This was 5 months following his membership with the
US Constabulary Assoc. He made his first OP 7 reunion in March of
1999. My husband and I went with him to Little Rock,
Arkansas. He had been having trouble with a cold and cough which
became worse in April. His blood pressure dropped and we took him
to the EM Room. They said he needed to see a
heart specialist because he was having so much trouble breathing.
Everything they did for him didn't help. They sent him to the
lung specialist and learned it was lung cancer. My father took every
treatment and followed every instruction the doctors gave to him. He
fought this battle for 6 months. He never let his guard down and
always gave his family a positive out look on this illness. He
never gave into it. He became very weak and the last month of his
life he spent it in the hospital. He received his U.S. Constabulary
Belt Buckle that I bought for him only a week before he died. He
smiled when he held on to it. The members of the US Constabulary
Association were his friends. I want to thank them all for their
kindness.
My father was a wonderful man and trooper.Written by his daughter, Irene Moore

Samuel McClure Goodwin[Lieutenant Colonel.]Hqs. Troop, 16th Constabulary Squadron (Separate), APO 742-ASam Goodwin was born in New York City on 3 December
1916. After completing one year of junior college at New Mexico
Military
Institute (NMMI) he was selected for appointment to the United States
Military
Academy (USMA) at West Point, NY. He graduated the USMA as a Second
Lieutenant
of Cavalry on 11 June 1940. His subsequent 30 years military
career
included wartime service in Europe during World War II and in
Korea.
Among his assignments were platoon leader, squadron commander and
group
commander.General Goodwin retired from active military service in
August
1970.

He, as a lieutenant colonel was the FIRST 16th Constabulary Squadron (Separate) commander
in
Berlin, Germany and when he died at his Crossed Sabers Ranch in Cerrillos,
NM,
October of 1998. He held the rank of Brigidare General (BG).U.S. ArmyBerlin, Germany

[A note from Mrs Goodwin to the Web Editor]
. My husband, BG Samuel McC. Goodwin, was responsible for
creating
andcommanding the 16th Constabulary (Separate) in Berlin in
1946
at theconclusion of World War II. He was a lieutenant
colonel
at the time, havingspent the war years with the 6th Cavalry Squadron/Group
which
he ended upcommanding at the end of the war. The term "Separate"
associated
with the16th Constabulary was not so much related to the physical
distance
of theunit from the other Constabulary units stationed in the
area
of West Germanyas it was to the fact that both logistically and in terms
of
commandresponsibility the 16th was independent of the regular
chain
of command.

Sam served with the 16th for over a year and considered
it one
of the finestperiods of his Army career. It was both heartening
and
extremely humblingto find how many men who had been teenagers at that time
serving
under hiscommand, and who had never seen nor heard from him in the
intervening
morethan fifty years, rallied 'round when they heard of his
imminent
death andshowed him with cards, letters and telephone cards. I
have
made many newfriends through those communiqués.

I have explored Irene Moore's web site for her father "Dad's
Constabulary Days" and am deeply impressed notonly with the professionalism of the presentation but with
the
impetus whichmust have inspired it. I doubt you could have made
your
father more proud.

My very best wishes to you and all your family.
And thank
you for yourkindness in communicating with me.
